Either semigroup is useful for error handling. if everything is correct, use Right (it's right, get it?), if something goes wrong, use Left. plus does the normal thing for plus(Right, Right), or plus(Left, Left), but if exactly one is Left, we return that value (to keep the error condition). Typically, the left value will be a string representing the errors.
